VLACH remembered for spirit, courage
By Jane SIMS,
FreePressReporter,Mon., April 24, 2006
VLACH:
TheCentral secondary grad and athlete died Saturday at
age 19 of cancer.
In his short, extraordinary life, Alex
VLACH taught everyone
around him about living life with dignity. With determination.
With grace.
Cancer was his only enemy. In the end, even
VLACH's unequalled
drive to win was no match for the deadly disease.
VLACH, a Central secondary school graduate and athlete who inspired
his school to reach out to others, died on Saturday at age 19.
He leaves behind a community of family and Friends in awe of
his courageous journey and his unbreakable spirit despite the
odds.
"He's a hero to a lot of people," said teacher and football coach
John VOUVALIDIS.
"He showed us all what amazing things can be accomplished with
strength of spirit and hope," said teacher Martine Bracey
HOFFMAN.
In Grade 10,
VLACH lost his mom to cancer. Within a year, he
was diagnosed with a rare abdominal form of the disease.
When he was 16, after 42 chemotherapy treatments and 12 radiation
treatments, he found an insight into his struggle.
"There are more important things in life than school or money
or work," he said. "Family and Friends mean a lot."
He was a gym rat who tried to shoot baskets every day during
his treatments, said teacher Sharon Young
KIPP. He wasn't allowed
to dress for football, but he still came to practice. He dressed
for the last game of the year.
"He was so strong about it,"
VOUVALIDIS said. "He had this never-give-up
attitude."
The cancer went into remission and stayed away for almost two
years.
"I've always said my mom gave it to me so I could beat it," he
said at a Central football game.
"You have to be strong. Never once did I say I was going to die.
All through this, I just kept thinking about how I was going
to play football and basketball again."
He had won his first battle against cancer and didn't lose his
drive to raise awareness.
"I was lucky. I got to share his dream and help him make it work,"
Kipp YOUNG said.
Last year,
VLACH took on a fundraising drive at the school, selling
Lance Armstrong bracelets and breast cancer bracelets.
He also helped to raise $10,000 for the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
A year ago, he received an Ernie McTavish Award given London
high school students who have overcome great odds.
He was accepted to Western's Kings University College and worked
at Camp Trillium for kids with cancer, for the summer.
But he began to feel ill. In August, he was told the cancer was
back. His diagnosis was terminal.
In September, he said he found inspiration in Terry Fox and wanted
his own life to be used to raise money for children.
"He just kept fighting -- never quit," said football coach Phil
HARRIS.
An annual award has been named for
VLACH.
The cancer campaign at the school this year was dedicated to
him. Three weeks ago,
VLACH was at the school for the last time
for an assembly.
On Friday their Carnival of Hope aims to match the $10,000 raised
last year.

KatherineElizabeth "
Liz" (née
NUTTER)
Liz passed away peacefully at her home with great courage and
dignity from malignant melanoma on January 27, 2006. To deeply
mourn her passing, so thankful for her life, are her loving family,
her beloved daughter Andrea
HOFFMAN
(MattTORMEY,) her mother
Audrey NUTTER, brother John
NUTTER, sister Patricia (Bob)
JAMIESON,
Auntie Bobbie and Uncle Dave
GRANT and family, Barry
HOFFMAN
and the HOFFMAN and Potter families. She was predeceased by her
father Philip
NUTTER. To all of Liz's Friends who loved her,
you are her family as well and we know that you will miss her
as deeply. Liz achieved a tremendous amount during her life.
She is remembered for her determination to stand up for the rights
of those without a voice, for her passion for books and making
them accessible to everyone, for the pleasure she took in travel
and her admiration of different cultures, and most fondly for
her deep love and appreciation of family and Friends. Liz gave
wholeheartedly to her Friends and always held them dear. She
was so grateful for all of the love and support that she received
over the past months - every call, every card, every flower and
every prayer was deeply cherished and gave her added strength.
Liz was born in Winnipeg in 1951, later moving to the Ottawa
area with her family. She graduated with an Honours Degree in
Public Administration from Carleton University in Ottawa and
pursued further study on scholarship at the Syracuse University
School of Public Administration, New York. Liz raised her family
and spent most of her career in Toronto. She returned to Winnipeg
in 2000. Liz's deeply rooted sense of fairness and social justice
led to a career as ombudsperson with distinguished service at
Carleton University, the University of Toronto, Ryerson Polytechnic
University and the Ontario College of Art and Design. For the
past five years she worked in Winnipeg as a Senior Investigator
with the Office of the National Defence and Canadian Forces Ombudsman.
She was a founding member and a past president of the Association
of Canadian College and University Ombudspersons. She was also
a founding member of The Forum of Canadian Ombudsman and remained
actively involved as a member of the Board. The opportunity to
volunteer with diverse groups and individuals in the community
gave her great pleasure. For over twenty years Liz was committed
to keeping the public library systems strong and maintaining
public access to information while preserving individual privacy.
She was past president of the Ontario Public Library Association
and on behalf of this Association and the Ontario Ministry of
Culture and Communications chaired the development of the Ontario
Public Library Strategic Plan. She contributed as a committee
chair to the development of Winnipeg's Millennium Library. She
was a member of the Executive Committee of the Canadian Commission
for United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
a member of the Board of Directors of the Canadian Network for
the Advancement of Research, Industry and Education; a member
of the Federal Government's National Community Access Programme
Advisory Board; a member of the Federal Government's Information
Highway Advisory Council; and founding chair of Canada's Coalition
for Public Information. A special joy was in representing Canada
as keynote speaker (National Information Policies: Canadian Approach)
at the 49th International Federation for Information and Documentation
Conference and Congress held in Jaipur and New Delhi, India.
Liz's leadership, service and commitment toward the betterment
of her local, provincial, national and global communities have
been highly recognized. She was honoured with many awards from
the organizations with which she worked. Commendations were received
from both the Prime Minister and the Governor General of Canada.
Liz believed in living each day to the fullest. She travelled
extensively with her family throughout North and South America,
Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia. She enjoyed diverse activities
including book clubs, cultural festivals, cinema, theatre, live
music and billiards. Most recently Liz's quiet time was spent
at her dream retreat Skye Cottage, Victoria Beach. Our lives
are richer for having known Liz. She touched and contributed
to the lives of many. The family invites Friends to share in
a remembrance and celebration of Liz's life at the Renaissance
Hotels Northern Lights Ballroom in the Rogers Centre, Toronto
on Saturday, February 11th at 1: 30 p.m. This is the site where
Liz hosted the initial visionary meeting of the future Ontario
Digital Library. A similar gathering is being held at the Inn
at the Forks, Winnipeg, on Saturday, February 4th. Flowers gratefully
declined.

Star's Marlow
NEWBY, 75, beloved boss
By Isabel TEOTONIO,
StaffReporter
Some called him Mr. Good Morning. Others called him Mr. Patience.
But all agreed that Marlow
NEWBY was a gentleman of the highest order.
NEWBY, a former circulation manager who dedicated 35 years to
the Star, died Jan 26. after a brief battle with lung cancer.
He was 75.
"He was such a gentleman to his staff -- he was Mr. Good Morning,"
recalled Rupert
FRY, former executive director of circulation,
who worked with
NEWBY for about three decades.
"Each morning he'd go around the office and say, 'Good morning,'
to everybody -- and that was a pretty good-sized floor, so it
took some time,"
FRY chuckled at the memory. "But that was Marlow.
He had a sense of caring for people and was a good friend to many."
His sentiments were echoed by Berrie
FEENEY, who was
NEWBY's
secretary for 20 years. She, however, had a different moniker
for her beloved boss. "He was Mr. Patience.
"He was a wonderful man, a great man and a great boss. All of
us were fond of him," said
FEENEY, calling him a "people person"
who would greet everyone with a smile.
While NEWBY wasn't a jokester himself, he always loved a good
joke and a funny story, recalled his second wife, Janet
HOFFMAN,
with whom he spent the last 22 years of his life. "He was a great
audience. He had a wonderful laugh and he enjoyed other people…."
NEWBY was born in Cardston, a small town in southwestern Alberta.
When he was a boy, his parents moved the family to nearby Lethbridge,
where he later attended university.
Fresh out of school,
NEWBY was hired by American News, a magazine
distribution company based in the United States. He started out
delivering magazines, but hard work and perseverance paid off
and he quickly rose through the ranks to management.
NEWBY's work took him to the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia,
where he lived for a few years, and eventually landed him in
Halifax, where he met his first wife, Dorothy.
After the company's collapse, the Star quickly scooped him up
in 1957 to work in the circulation department, where he spent
much of the next 35 years before retiring in 1992. He worked
briefly in marketing, but returned to circulation, which was
his true passion. It was there that he left his greatest mark.
"He was truly a professional,"
FRY recalled of
NEWBY's days as
circulation manager. "He spent a great deal of time researching
other papers in North America, looking for better ways to do
circulation distribution."
The result, he said, was
NEWBY's introduction of new and innovative
circulation sales programs during the 1980s, which helped boost
circulation. And despite putting in long hours at work, he also
found time to serve as president of the Canadian Circulation
Management Association in 1984.
Besides HOFFMAN,
NEWBY is survived by four children from his
first marriage: John
NEWBY,
Chris▼NEWBY, JoAnne
NEWBY and
LeeAnne
NEWBY, along with their partners and grandchildren.
